A leisurely meal outdoors with favorite friends and family, a bright blue sky overhead and a view of the ocean in the distance—is there anything more enticing than spending summer in the Mediterranean?

The relaxed spirit of the beautiful region, which includes France, Italy, and Spain, may be difficult to replicate if you're not there, but with Dolce & Gabbana and Smeg’s new line of kitchen appliances and accessories, you can add the crisp blues and whites of la dolce vita to your kitchen for a revitalizing upgrade.

Smeg is known for its high-quality products, popularized for its wide range of color choices in everything from refrigerators to cookware. The curved designs and petite size of the appliances reflect its Italian roots, where the company was founded in 1948 by Vittorio Bertazzoni, Sr. The collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana, the Italian fashion house founded by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana in 1985, brings the two colorful and iconic brands together for the Blu Mediterraneo collection—and it couldn't be more on trend.

With blue named the Color of the Year by multiple paint manufacturers, the rise of curvy kitchens, and maximalist design returning to interiors, Blu Mediterraneo embodies elements of this year's most touted cooking spaces.

While fashionable, the geometric and floral motifs purposefully capture the nostalgic style both brands are known for (along with the idea of a summer in the Mediterranean). The color scheme also brings about a sense of tranquility you could only get from relaxing on a beach along the Spanish coast.
